I have a friend from high school who is a genius. Not smart, not intelligent, but a savant. His mind is a computer. Anyway, he went to Georgia Tech for undergrad while I was in North Carolina. He never went to class, but spent his college years traveling around the country scalping tickets to major sporting events. But he didn't just scalp the tickets, he would also go to the games. He would never use a ticket. He knew the back way into every stadium and arena. When the Bills and Cowboys played in the Super Bowl in Atlanta, he picked up a bright yellow security windbreaker outside the Georgia Dome and ended up on the field for the game. He can be seen cheering when I-can't-remember-who returned an interception for a touchdown for the Cowboys. This lifestyle continued even as he got his master's at Stanford. He later moved to Qatar on a whim and ended up spending eight years in the Middle East. Now he's a think-tank guy on Middle East policy.
